We stepped over fairy rings...
Qu'est-ce que c'est? Isolepis ludwigii perhaps?
Juncus lomatophyllum in habitat
Adenandra growing out of rock on Cecilia Ridge
A striking red form of Passerina sp. And then this:
Fynbos at its best - just a few years after a fire, in spring splendour. A tapestry of soft pinks, salmons, greys and greens. It's breathtaking!
It inspires me to paint - to try and capture this palette of colours, this moment in the season. Because in a few weeks those soft pink shoots will harden off and become leathery green leaves, and in a few years this will be a dense stand of Protea coronata - a tall rather shabby species of Protea with green flowers. Beautiful in its own way, but unlikely to be the subject of a photo essay. Unless...? Maybe.
